DESCRIPTION OF THE WORLDS FAIR BUILDINGS. 



The Administration Building, in the style of the French Renaissance, was designed by Mr. Richard M. Hunt, 
President of the American Institute of Architects. It consists of a large central square, covered by a dome, with four pavilions 
at the angles, each pavilion covering 84 feet square. At the centre of each facade, between the pavilions, are recesses in 
which are situated the principal entrances to the building, 50 feet wide and 50 feet high, deeply recessed and covered by 
semi-circular arched vaults. It consists ofan outer and an inner dome, the former 220 feet in height and 120 feet in diameter, 
the latter 200 feet in height and beautifully decorated on the inside with sculptured panels and paintings representing the arts 
and sciences. In the centre is an aperture, 50 feet in diameter, admitting a flood of light from the exterior dome overhead. 
The total cost of this building will be §450,000. 

The Fine Arts Gallery is of the Grecian-Ionic style of architecture, and is entirely fire-proof; is oblong in shape, 
500 by 320 feet, and intersected at right angles by a nave and transept, 100 feet wide and 70 feet high, at the intersection 
of which is a dome 60 feet in diameter. This dome, 425 feet in height, is surmounted by a colossal reproduction of the 
Winged Victory. Around the entire building are galleries forming a continuous promenade, and between this gallery and 
the naves are the smaller rooms devoted to private collections of paintings and the collections of the different art schools. 
The main floor of the nave and transept will be devoted to sculpture exclusively, and on the walls of the galleries is space 
for the display of paintings and haut and bas-reliefs. The corners made by the intersection of nave and transept are to be 
utilized as smaller picture galleries. On either side of the main buildings are large annexes, for art exhibits. The main 
building is entered by four great portals, richly ornamented with architectural sculpture, and approached by broad flights of 
steps. The walls of the loggia of the colonnades are highly decorated with mural paintings, illustrating the history and 
progress of the arts. 

The Electricity Building consists of a nave 700 feet long, 115 feet wide and 114 feet high, crossed by a transept 
345 feet long, and of the same height and width. Both have a pitched roof with ranges of skylights at the bottom of the pitch 
and clear story windows. The rest of the building. 68 feet in height, is covered with a flat roof and lighted by skylights. 
At the corners are pavilions with open spires, 169 feet high. 

This building has an open portico extending along the whole of the south facade, the lower or Ionic order forming an 

17 



open screen in front of it. The various subordinate pavilions are treated with windows and balconies. The details of the 
exterior orders are richly decorated and the pediments, friezes, panels and spandrels have received a decoration of figures in 
relief, with architectural motifs, the general tendenc_y of which is to illustrate the purposes of the building. The designs for 
the building were drawn by Messrs. Van Brunt & Howe, architects at Kansas City. Total cost $375,000. 

The Transportation Building recalls, by the simplicity of its architectural lines, the Ecole des Beau.x Arts of Paris. 
Its main entrance consists of an immense single arch, enriched to an e.xtraordinary degree with carvings, bas-reliefs and 
mural paintings. Numerous minor entrances are adorned with drinking fountains, artistic seats, etc. The interior of the 
building is treated much after the manner of a Roman basilica with broad nave and aisles. The roof has three divisions ; 
the middle one rises much higher than the others, and its walls are pierced to form a beautiful arcaded clear-story. The 
cupola, placed in the centre of the building and rising 165 feet above the ground, is reached by eight elevators. The main 
building of the Transportation exhibit measures 960 feet front bv 250 feet deep. From this extends westward to Stoney 
Island avenue an enormous annex. This is one story in height and is for bulky exhibits, locomotives, engines, etc. The 
building cost about f 300, 000 and was designed b}' Messrs. Adler & Sullivan of Chicago. 

The Machinery Hall, of which Messrs. Peabody & Stearns, of Boston, are the architects, is one of the most magnifi. 
cent buildings of the exhibition. It measures 850 by 500 feet, and is located at the extreme south end of the Park, midway 
between the shore of Lake Michigan and the west side of the Park. Its cost, with the machinery annex and power house, 
the latter situated on the south side of the building, is about $1,200,000. The building is spanned by three arched trusses, 
and the interior presents the appearance of three railroad train-houses side by side, surrounded on all the four sides by a 
gallery 50 feet wide. In each of the long naves there is an elevated traveling crane running from end to end of the building 
for the purpose of moving machinery. 

The Manufactures and Liberal Arts Building is the liiammoth structure of the exhibition. It is in Corinthian 
style, measures 1,687 by 787 feet and covers nearly 31 acres, being the largest exhibition building ever constructed. Within 
the building a gallery 50 feet wide extends around all four sides, and projecting from this are 86 smaller galleries, 12 feet 
wide, from which visitors may survey the vast array of exhibits. The main roof is of iron and glass and arches an area 385 
by 1,400 feet, and has its ridge 150 feet from the ground. The building, including its galleries, has about 40 acres of floor 
space. The long array of columns and arches, which its facades present, is relieved from monotony by elaborate ornamentation. 
In this ornamentation female figures, symbolical of the various arts and sciences, play a conspicuous part. There are fojir 

18 



great entrances, one in the centre of each facade, designed in the manner of triumphal arches, the central archway of each bein" 
40 feet wide and 80 feet high. Surmounting these portals is the great attic story, ornamented with sculptured eagles 18 feet 
high, and on each side, above Jhe side arches, are great panels with inscriptions, and the spandrils are filled with sculptured 
figures in bas relief At each corner of the main building are pavilions forming great arched entrances. 

The Woman's Building is in Italian Renaissance style and has been built from the designs of Miss Sophia G. Hayden. 
The building stands on the sliore of the lagbon, and is reached by two terraces. The principal facade is about 400 feet in 
length, and the depth of the building about half that distance. The first story is raised about ten feet from the ground line, 
and a wide staircase leads to the centre' pavilion. A lobby 40 feet wide leads into an open rotunda 70 by 65 feet. This 
rotunda is surrounded by a two-story open arcade. On the first floor are located a model hospital and a model kindergarten, 
each occupying So by 60 feet. The whole floor of the south pavilion is devoted to the retrospective e.xhibit ; the one on the 
north to reform work and charity organization. Each of these floors is 80 by 200 feet. Opposite the main front is the 
Library, Bureau of Information, Records, etc. In the second story are located ladies' parlors, committee-rooms and dressing- 
rooms, all leading to the open balcony in front. The second floor of the north pavilion incloses the great assembly-room and 
club-room. The south pavilion contains the model kitchen, refreshment rooms, reception rooms, etc. 

The Hall of Mines and Mining, also in Italian Renaissance, is 700 feet long by 350 feet wide, the architect 
being Mr. S. S. Beman, of Chicago. In plan it is simple and straightforward, embracing on the ground floor spacious vesti- 
bules, restaurants, toilet rooms, etc. On the four sides of the building are placed the entrances. To the right and left of 
each entrance, inside, are broad flights of stairs leading to the galleries. The galleries are 60 feet wide and 25 feet high from 
the ground floor, and are lighted by large windows, and by a high clear-story extending around the building. 

The main fronts look southward on the Central Court, and northward on the western and middle lakes and on an island 
gorgeous with flowers. The principal fronts display enormous arch entrances, richly embellished with sculptural decorations 
emblematic of mining and its allied industries. At each end of these fronts are large square pavilions, which are lighted by 
large arched windows extending through the galleries. Between the main entrance and the pavilions are richly decorated 
arcades, forming an open loggia on the ground floor, and a deeply-recessed promenade on the gallerv floor level. These 
promenades are each 25 feet wide and 230 feet long, and from them is had access to the building at numerous points. 

The Horticultural Building is 1,000 feet long with an extreme width of 250 feet. The plan is a central pavilion 
with two end pavilions, each connected with the central one by front and rear curtains, forming two interior courts, each 88 by 

«9 



270 teet. These courts are beautifully decorated in color, and planted with ornamental shrubs and flowers. The centre 
of the pavilion is roofed by a crystal dome 1S7 feet in diameter and 113 feet high, under which are exhibited the tallest 
palms, bamboos, and tree ferns that can be procured ; also all the varieties of flowers, plants, vines, seeds, horticultural 
implements, etc. 

The Forestry Building is in appearance the most unique of all the Exposition structures. Its dimensions are 200 
by 500 feet. Its architecture is of the rustic order. On all four sides of the building is"a veranda, supporting the roof o 
which is a colonnade consisting of a series of columns composed of tree-trunks, each 25 feet in length, some of them from 
16 to 20 inches in diameter and the others smaller. All of these trunks are left in their natural state, with bark undisturbed. 
Upon each trunk will be displayed a tablet bearing its common and scientific name, the state or country by which it was 
contributed, etc. The sides of the building are constructed of slabs with the bark removed, and the window frames are treated 
in a rustic manner as is the rest of the building. The main entrances are elaborately finished in different kinds of wood. 

The Agricultural Building is situated near the shore of Lake Michigan. It measures 500 by 300 feet, and the 
general cornice line is 65 feet above grade. On either side of the main entrance are Corinthian pillars, 50 feet high and 
5 feet in diameter. On each corner and from the centre of the building, pavilions are reared, the central one being 144 feet 
square. The main entrance leads into a vestibule, from thence to a rotunda 100 feet in diameter. This is surmounted by a 
glass dome 130 feet high. Through the main vestibule statuary has been placed illustrative of the agricultural industry. Similar 
designs are grouped about all of the entrances. The pavilions are surmounted by domes 96 feet high. 

To the southward of the Agricultural Building is a structure devoted to a Live Stock and Agricultural Assembly Hall. 
This building contains a bureau of information, committee and other rooms for the live stock associations, waiting-rooms, 
and on the second floor an assembly-room, which has a seating capacity of about 1500. 

The Fisheries Building consists of a large central structure with two smaller polygonal buildings connected with it 
on either end by arcades. It is 1,100 feet long and 200 feet wide, and is in Spanish-Romanesque style. Mr. Henry Ives 
Cobb is the architect. In the central portion of the building is the general Fisheries exhibit. In one of the polygonal build- 
ings is the Angling exhibit, and the other the Aquaria, ten in number, with a capacity of from 7,000 to 27,000 gallons of 
water each. The glass fronts of the Aquaria are about 575 feet in length and have a surface of 3.000 square feet. The total 
water capacity of the Aquaria, exclusive of reservoirs, is 8,725 cubic feet, or 140,000 gallons. Of this amouiit about 40,000 
gallons is for the Marine exhibit. In the entire salt-water circulation, including reservoirs, there are about So, 000 gallons
